Safety Symbols, Labels, and Alerts
These danger and warning alerts signal the reader to the
risk of death or serious injury:
DANGER
Immediate hazards that WILL result in severe personal
injury or death.
WARNING
Hazards or unsafe practices that COULD result in severe
personal injury or death.
DANGER
IMPORTANT: If you smell gas:
• Do not use or light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch or use any electrical devices, including the telephone, in your building.
• From a neighbor’s phone, immediately call the gas
supplier. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot contact the gas supplier, call the fire
department.
DANGER
IMPORTANT: Do not store or use combustible, flammable
or explosive vapors and liquids (such as gasoline) on or
in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Also keep
items that could explode, such as aerosol cans, away
from the cooktop. Do not store flammable or explosive
materials in adjacent cabinets or areas (including above
and below the cooktop).
WARNING
WARNING: NEVER use this appliance as a space heater
to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon
monoxide poisoning and overheating of the appliance.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN
THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
a. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie
sheet or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE
CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do
not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
b. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - you may be
burned.
c. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dish cloths or
towels - a violent steam explosion may result.
d. Use a fire extinguisher ONLY if:
◊ You have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you
already know how to operate it.
◊ The fire is small and contained in the area where
it started.
◊ The fire department is being called.
◊ You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
WARNING
WARNING: NEVER cover any slots, holes, or passages
on the cooktop and cooktop chassis. Doing so blocks
air flow through the cooktop and may cause carbon
monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap
heat, causing a fire hazard. Keep all slots, holes, and
passages clear of grease and grime.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING
The burning of gas cooking fuel generates some
by-products that are on the list of substances which
are known by the State of California to cause cancer or
reproductive harm. California law requires businesses
to warn customers of potential exposure to such
substances. To minimize exposure to these substances,
always operate this unit according to the Use and Care
manual, ensuring you provide good ventilation when
cooking with gas.
PROLONGED POWER FAILURE
Do not attempt to use this appliance during a continuous
power failure.

Important Safety Instructions
General Safety Precautions
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or serious injury
or death when using your appliance, follow basic safety
precautions, including the following:
WARNING
• Read the accompanying use and care manual completely before operating this appliance.
• Keep packaging materials away from children.
Plastic sheets and bags can cause suffocation.
• If you receive a damaged product, immediately contact your dealer or builder. Do not install or use a
damaged appliance.
• This cooktop must be properly installed and grounded by a qualified installer according to these installation instructions prior to use. The installer should
show the customer the location of the gas shut off
valve and the power cord so that they know where
and how to turn off the gas supply and disconnect
power to the cooktop.
• Do not install, repair or replace any part of the
cooktop unless specifically recommended in the literature accompanying it. A qualified service technician
should perform all other service.
• Before servicing or installing this cooktop, make sure
that the gas supply is turned OFF at the gas supply
valve and that the power plug is disconnected from
the electrical outlet.
• Disconnect the power plug from the electrical outlet
before cleaning. Clean this appliance only in the
manner specified in the Use and Care Manual.
• Only use the cooktop for cooking tasks expected of
a home appliance as outlined in the literature accompanying it. This cooktop is not intended for commercial or laboratory use.
• DO NOT TOUCH THE SURFACES OF THE
COOKTOP DURING OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER
USE.
• Do not operate this appliance if the power cord is
damaged.
• Turn the knobs to the OFF position prior to removing
them from the valve stems.
• Clean the cooktop thoroughly before operating it for
the first time. Make sure that all the cooktop parts
are dry before lighting a burner.
• To avoid a fire hazard, do not hang flammable or
heat sensitive objects over the cooktop.
• Do not climb on any part of the appliance.
WARNING
• Do not leave the cooktop unattended while in use to
avoid the possibility of a fire.
• Do not leave children alone or unattended in the
area around the cooktop. Do not allow children to
play with the controls or touch other parts of the

on top of or above the cooktop. Children could be
burned or injured while climbing on the appliance.
• Keep flammable items, such as paper, cardboard,
plastic, and cloth away from the burners and other
hot surfaces. Do not place such items on the
cooktop. Do not allow pot holders to touch hot surfaces or gas burners.
• Do not wear loose or hanging apparel while using
the cooktop. Do not allow clothing to come into contact with the cooktop and surrounding areas during
and immediately after use.
• If the cooktop is near a window, do not use long curtains as window treatment. The curtains could blow
over the cooktop and create a fire hazard.
• Do not use towels or bulky cloth as pot holders.
• Do not use the cooktop to heat sealed containers.
The container and contents may explode, causing
personal injury.
• Non-stick coatings, when heated, can be harmful
to pet birds. Relocate pet birds to a separate, wellventilated room when using the cooktop.
IMPORTANT - This appliance is equipped with a
three-prong grounding plug for your protection against
possible electric shock hazards. Plug it only into a
dedicated, grounded three-prong electrical outlet. It is the
responsibility of the customer to make sure the proper

Electrical Requirements
WARNING
To prevent an electric shock hazard, the power supply
must meet the specifications stated below. It is the owner’s responsibility to make sure that the electrical service
meets electrical requirements and that the electrical outlet
has been properly installed by a licensed electrician.
• The cooktop is supplied with a factory installed,
40-inch, three-prong, grounding electrical cord. It is
connected to the chassis at the bottom right rear corner
(see Chassis Bottom Diagrams below). It must be
connected to a dedicated, grounded three-prong electrical outlet installed by a licensed electrician.
• The electrical installation, including minimum supply
wire size and grounding, must be done in accordance
with National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70* and local
codes and ordinances. A copy of this standard may be
obtained from:
National Fire Protection Association
1 Batterymarch Park
Quincy, MA 02269-9101
• The correct voltage, frequency, and amperage must be
supplied to the electrical outlet according to the product
data label located on the bottom of the chassis. See
the Gas and Electrical Requirements table on this
page for reference.
• Be certain to position the electrical outlet so that the
power cord may be easily disconnected if the unit
needs service.

Gas Supply Requirements
• Be certain that the cooktop being installed is correct
for the gas service being provided (Natural Gas or LP
gas). Also, if using the cooktop at an altitude above
4000 ft. (1219 m) make sure it is equipped for high altitude (“H”) operation.
• Units equipped for high altitude operation have an “H”
at the end of the model number listed on the product
data label.
• Units equipped for LP operation have “LP” in the
model number listed on the product data label. See the
Product Data Label section for label location.
• Check your local building codes for the proper method
of installation. In the absence of local codes, this
appliance should be installed in accordance with the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
• An external manual shut-off valve must be installed
between the gas supply line and the cooktop for the
purpose of turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance.
• The cooktop is shipped from the factory with a regulator in the carton. Use only the regulator provided. The
regulator must be installed between the gas inlet on the
cooktop and the gas shut-off valve.
• The regulator inlet accommodates a 3/4” gas line. The
cooktop inlet itself is equipped with a 3/4” male NPT fitting.
